Hi, I’m Marilyn Calvo, a Sherman Oaks area Cosmetic Dentist accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. On behalf of myself and the staff, I would like to thank you for visiting our website and it is my privilege to introduce our services to you.

We are a dental office specializing in the care and restoration of the teeth and mouth.

The primary objective of our team is to improve the quality of life of our clients by improving their oral care.

Getting a smile makeover is not just about appearance. While it can make a person feel beautiful, it can also help with the overall health of a person. Research has indicated that there are many illnesses that are associated with the mouth. Improving its condition can be just as important as exercising and eating a proper diet.

In addition to this, a good smile can greatly increase the self-worth of an individual. There are many people who feel like they cannot let their true personalities shine because they feel insecure about their teeth. As one of the most effective means of communication, the smile can influence how other people perceive you.

What we offer to our clients is an assurance to provide effective treatments that fix discolored, broken, and missing teeth. Whether you are someone who have gapped or overcrowded teeth, we can be of assistance. With just a few sessions with us, you can walk out of our office feeling confident in your smile.

Porcelain Dental Veneers Sherman Oaks

Porcelain veneers make dental treatments much easier. Veneers are custom-fitted ceramic shells or covers that are usually placed over the tooth surface for hiding discoloration, alignment problems, uneven teeth spacing, and for repairing chipped or cracked teeth. When veneers are placed onto the teeth, they cannot be distinguished from the natural teeth. This makes them a reasonably popular choice for cosmetic dentists.

With our porcelain dental veneers, we can treat many dental complications quickly and easily.

Teeth Whitening Sherman Oaks

Teeth whitening is one of the most frequently requested dental procedures today. The desire to have a dazzling white smile and healthy oral health is the reason why so many people are heading for teeth whitening treatment. With professional teeth whitening, it is possible to light up the face and to enhance the overall appearance of a person.

We are quite sure that our patients take great care of their oral health by brushing and flossing regularly, but there are some stains that naturally occur over time and due to aging. Discolored teeth are ugly and make a person look older as well.

With our teeth whitening treatment, we can reverse your teeth discoloration process completely.

Porcelain Onlays Sherman Oaks

Porcelain onlays are custom-fitted shells or covers made from porcelain. They are attached to a tooth as a cover for the problem areas. Onlays are more advanced solutions for patients with severe tooth decay and problems with broken teeth and are an excellent alternative to composite fillings.

Conventional fillings are usually molded in place inside the mouth, but onlays are designed in dental labs separately and are fitted properly so that they are bonded to the teeth. Since the healthy areas remain unaffected, porcelain onlays leave the natural structure of the tooth intact. You can use traditional dental crowns as well.

Tooth Colored Filling Sherman Oaks

Earlier amalgam fillings were the only choice to fill dental cavities. However, with the advancements in medical science, composite resins came into existence. Composite resins are tooth colored fillings that have replaced the silvery amalgam fillings. Now you can have a natural-looking tooth despite dental work with improved functionality. Composite fillings are pleasing to the eyes because they do not contain mercury. They are effective because they fortify the remaining structure of the tooth through bonding. As silver amalgam fillings could cause potential damage to the tooth, patients choose to have that removed to prevent unnecessary problems.

Together with tooth colored fillings, porcelain inlays and onlays can also be done in one visit. This is a comprehensive treatment that can help in restoring all your cavities.

Dental Bonding Sherman Oaks

Dr. Calvo and Dr. Johnson still have immense faith in conservative treatments for enhancing their patients’ smiles. Direct bonding is one such method that they have been banking on. The dental bonding procedure involves the use of composite resin material that can be given the desired shape to the tooth. The material is hardened using a special light to give it the perfect shape.

Direct bonding is the best solution for hiding discolorations, repairing cracked or chipped teeth and eliminating gaps between two teeth. This procedure is used to enhance the overall appearance of a person. It takes just one visit to complete the procedure.

Porcelain Dental Crowns Sherman Oaks

Porcelain dental crowns are the ultimate choice for correcting extensively damaged teeth. The porcelain dental crowning procedure helps in eliminating discomfort and restoring strength to the teeth through proper use of tooth-shaped covering. Dental crowns often seem to be too visible; however, as modern porcelain crowns are well designed and shaped as compared to traditional crowns, the results are far better.

Dental Bridges Sherman Oaks

Having a missing tooth is embarrassing. We, at Smile Studio LA, combine innovative techniques like tissue management with the latest materials for delivering the best results to our patients. With the latest developments in metal-free procedures, such as implants, bridges, and adhesion dentistry, the procedure of replacing a missing tooth has become much easier. Also, this metal-free material enables us to create a naturally translucent appearance for a missing tooth. With a soft tissue management procedure, the false tooth will look and feel like a real tooth, thereby creating an illusion that the tooth actually emerges from the gum just like a real tooth.

Dental Implants Sherman Oaks

In case of permanent tooth loss due to some injuries, improper tooth extractions or accidents, you will need serious dental help. Dental implants are safe and functional replacement options for permanent tooth loss. We recommend dental implants because the implants are independent procedures and do not rely on the neighboring teeth for extra support.

Comprising of small titanium cylinders, dental implants are placed along the jaw line and fused together. Once the cylinders are placed into the bones, artificial teeth will be anchored individually to the implants. Dental implants are often secured using bridges or dentures. Implants are often called artificial root replacement treatments. It is a superior treatment for extracting a tooth that allows the gums to develop over the particular area from where the tooth has been extracted.

Dentures Sherman Oaks

It is simply overwhelming to see the number of people who do not have teeth, both in the upper and lower jaws. It is even more difficult to see how people struggle to keep their dentures in place, particularly in their lower jaw. If you have also been suffering from this condition, then you surely know how embarrassing it is to speak or to even eat with such dentures on. It can be really frustrating to see a wholesome platter on the table, but you cannot have it due to your dropping dentures!

Fortunately, we have created adequate dentures with adhesives to last for a considerable period of time. Your dentures will work as it should and would maintain stabilization with the implants.

Cosmetic Gum Re-Contouring Sherman Oaks

Poor gums often need treatment to look good and stay healthy. We offer gum re-contouring treatment to give our patients a healthy and natural looking smile. By re-contouring gums, it is possible to correct a gummy smile – a smile in which a major part of the gum or uneven gum is revealed. The cosmetic gum re-contouring procedure is used with crowns or veneers or it can be implemented alone as well.

Instant Orthodontics Sherman Oaks

Instant orthodontics is commonly used for straightening crooked teeth and uneven smiles; it takes less than two visits to recreate a smile. The instant orthodontic procedure is done using porcelain veneers rather than traditional braces. With the use of porcelain dental veneers, the instant orthodontic procedure can be done within weeks, which would otherwise takes months or even years to yields results.

Instant orthodontics uses porcelain veneers to straighten gaps in a smile. Thin layers of porcelain shells are bonded to the outer surface of teeth.

Full Mouth Rejuvenation Sherman Oaks

Full mouth rejuvenation (full mouth reconstruction) is a very good option for patients having complex dental problems. The rejuvenation procedure begins with the detailed analysis of the oral health, including your bite and your smile. After the complete dental analysis, we plan the individual course of treatment for each patient.

Real Patient Testimonial:

“After doing some exhaustive research I determined two things.  The first was that if you want to improve the appearance of your cosmetic appearance smile, you should go to a cosmetic dentist who specializes in this type of work, the second was that veneers was the procedure that would finally give me the results I desired.  After interviewing several dentists, and getting estimates, I decided on Dr. Calvo. I would recommend this office everyone I know and I do.” – M. Dillard
